Seven Months
19 Mar 2013 Leave a Comment
Sorry we missed doing the six-month photos, but hopefully the seven-month photo session will make up for it.
So at less than seven months, Isaac has mastered crawling, can sit up on his own, and is able to climb on things to stand up. He is beginning to communicate more, which is a relief. I don’t know if it’s babbling exactly, but he grunts and says “ah” back and forth with us like we’re having a conversation.
Isaac is now eating several different fruits and vegetables. Some new ones are: zucchini, brocolli, corn, avocado, apricot, quinoa, raisin, and pear.
Some other developments: He has learned how to scream when he is upset. This usually happens in his crib when he’s tired but is fighting it with all his might. He also would do raspberries after we initiate it, which is exciting because I feel like this is our first real interaction/game with one another.
He is sleeping exclusively in his crib now (no more swing). He wakes up only once a night and it’s usually around 4AM, after having slept for 6-7 hours. All things considered, that’s pretty good.
So much of his personality is coming out these days. He loves to laugh and play. He is a very, very curious baby. When there is something he does not recognize, he wants to go to it, touch it, climb on it, and then put it in his mouth. He’s also got a bad attitude sometimes when he’s upset and unhappy. He will scream, squirm, and try to roll over during diaper changes. He also yells when we restrict him from going somewhere or touching something. And when we remove him from an area, he immediately crawls back to it over and over, no matter how many times we grab him and say “no, no, no!”
In a nutshell, he is his father’s son. 🙂

This weekend, our very good friend Chung (who shot our wedding and our engagement session) did a photo shoot of our family. I think it came out just amazingly well and I’m happy to share it here for everyone!
If you’re in the area and like Chung‘s work, I highly recommend you seek her out at her website http://www.chungnguyen.com.

“Look, Mama! No feet!”
This was the best picture I could get. When I first caught him doing this, his legs were much higher and face much closer to the ground. lol

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother putting away Isaac’s 30 toys that are strewn all over the living room while he is napping… And then I step on a rattle and almost fall on my face and remember that is exactly why.
Isaac + Book = ?

Here is a picture I shared with people of Isaac with a book. Pretty impressive for a 6.5 mo. old, right? He’s going to be a scholar!
Here is what Isaac REALLY does with a book. Not so scholarly anymore, is he?

Nothing makes me feel more like a mother than when I’m trying to wipe apple/peach puree off my baby’s face, neck and hands while he is throwing his head back, crying and screaming bloody murder.

Door Stopper Discovery

Isaac is finally brave enough to crawl around the apartment on his own. During his adventure, he discovered something that he finds incredibly fun, but his parents will find incredibly annoying.
Play Date With The Whites

After a couple attempts, we were finally able to meet for a play date with The Whites. It only took us only 7 months!
Isaac got to meet Finley, who is 6 days his elder, and they quickly became friends. They shared toys, ate solids together, and even had a little bit of time for some 6.5-month-old baby rough-housing. Finley’s secret weapon was his ability to lead with his hard head, and Isaac’s secret weapon was the ability to crawl away from said head. It is as adorable as it sounds.
Below is a picture of the two buddies.
